The 2002 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru is just a tiny bit smudged on the nose, but it rectifies that with aeration, offering disarming brambly red fruit, bergamot and potpourri scents, just a slight ferrous tincture in the background. The palate is fine-boned with pure red fruit, structured and slightly disjointed initially. Yet it coheres magnificently in the glass, so smooth. I was shocked when the vintage was revealed because this bottle suggests a very slow evolution. Wonderful. Tasted blind at the Wallace brothers' Xmas dinner. (Neal Martin, Vinous, March 2023)

This is something special- very lifted bright red fruit. Underbrush, tangy blue fruit, herbal notes. Very translucent and delicious. Gorgeous.

A beauty. Soy, silk and cool spices. Balance is the key word here, everything is so effortlessly integrated you hardly notice it. Like the most delicious water.

Great purity of fruit. Clearly has lots in reserve, but not a crime to drink now. Lovely red/black cherry and berry.

Astounding power, precision and concentration. Layers of flavor saturate the palate. Seductive forest fruits, a core of generous, expressive, lush ripe red cherry. Wow.
